This is correct and it is precisely why the radicals are wrong and the reactionaries are right. There will never be a true "mass politics." There will never be a "power to the people." Normalfags just simply do not give a shit, and this is why they will never meaningfully wield power--because they lack the drive, patience, the determination, and the attention span to accrue that power.

This is why revolutions are doomed to fail, because the vast majority of people are simply content to be led. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's very good that normalfags care about their spouses, their children, their families, their friends more than accruing and wielding power. We wouldn't have functional society if they were weirdos who were obsessed with power and aesthetics. But it is why all mass movements are doomed to fail, and a big reason why hierarchy will always inevitably reassert itself. If for no other reason than the lack of a shit that normalfags give, there will always only ever be a small amount of people who take power, accrue power, and wield control.

It's always going to be the people who actually do give a shit that rise to the top. Everyone else, all the normalfags, will simply bow their heads and obey.
